On one hand, Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders was impressed with the resiliency displayed by his team in last Saturday’s 43-35 double-overtime victory against Colorado State.
“Wonderful win,” Sanders said this week. “We didn’t attain it the way we desired, but a win is a win. You’re going to have those type of games, those type of contests throughout the season. The best thing to do is to be resilient when you’re not playing your best; to be resilient when your opponents are playing their butts off; and you’re able to come back and win the football game in the manner that we did. So we’re thankful, we’re appreciative. But now it’s on to the next chapter.
“We don’t want to get to that point where we have to be resilient,” he said. “We want to get out to a great start. We have not played a complete game. We have not played a game where the offense, defense, as well as special teams has all shown up in the same manner. CU might get a boost from Alton McCaskill this week. The Houston transfer, who was the AAC freshman of the year in 2021, was finally healthy enough to take his non-contact jersey off this week.Shedeur Sanders has put up some big numbers through three games despite getting hit a lot.
Against CSU, the Buffs had turnovers on their first two possessions and the offense found the end zone just once in the first 59 minutes. Shedeur’s late-game heroics rescued them for an overtime win.
